Picture this: the glow of orange lights illuminating your rosy cheeks, the flurry of energy among the costumed kids, and the echoing ring of the doorbell as trick or treaters come up to porches with bags filled with candy. Except this scene wouldn’t be complete without the clown makeup, the white sheet, the fake blood or the fairy wand with sparkling tassels.
There’s nothing more memorable about Halloween than picking out the costume. However, the process can become difficult when the costume you want is too expensive, common and hard to put together. To prevent any of these roadblocks, here are some unique costume ideas that you can use for inspiration or even as a guide on what to buy!
